In many European and Anglophone countries, there are specific laws that acknowledge FGM as FGM, and refuses to criminalize circumcision, much less even refer to it as such. The moment FGM became a known thing in the west, SWIFT measures were taken to ban it. This hypocrisy is part of what allowed American culture to violate me at birth, and it’s a permanent reminder to me that western societies are especially untrustworthy, despite the “freedom” values they’re so proud of.

I imagine that the reason FGM or MGM is not banned in certain countries like Japan or China is probably because the culture would see both as insane as cutting off one’s finger, which also isn’t specifically banned.

Stuff like this, knowing that MGM is just one part of a larger problem, exacerbates my misanthropy and seriously makes me want to drop out of society, or at least away from western countries. I feel like a fool for staying in a country with obvious biases against me. What the hell is wrong with people?
